Why are blood cells are red?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing molecule that binds oxygen. As with rust, the iron compounds turn brighter red when the hemoglobin absorbs oxygen.The blood in your veins are blue. Red blood is red because the color of oxyhemoglobin is red because there is iron in oxyhemoglobin, causing that blood red color.Red blood cells are red because the iron in the heme group of the four hemoglobin proteins react with oxygen (think what color rust is) to produce a red color.
Which blood contains more oxygen?
The blood in arteries contains more oxygen because it is being pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the form of oxyhemoglobin.
Where in the body is expect hemoglobin to be combining with oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is found within red blood cells.
What substances does the blood transport towards a muscle cell and in what parts of the blood is each of these carried?
hemoglobin
The blood oxygen bound to hemoglobin is what?
Oxygenated blood is carried through the body by arteries. There is one exception though - the pulmonary artery carries de-oxygenated blood to the lungs; the pulmonary vein returns to the heart carrying oxygenated blood.
Why is the blood red?
The red color of blood is caused by a red compound, oxyhemoglobin.
What is oxy-hemoglobin?
It is hemoglobin that carries oxygen
How is most oxygen transported to the blood?
the blood pumps ur heart and makes u breathe if u didnt have blood u wouldn't breathe
What is the oxyhemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is red while oxyhemoglobin is redder. People think that blood in veins is blue but it has lost the oxygen it was carrying around to the cells so it is a red color but not as red as oxyhemoglobin.

Do arteries usually carry blood high in oxygen?
yes as they come from the lungs which are supplying oxygen to the red blood cells. (oxyhemoglobin)
Where does hemoglobin become oxyhemoglobin?
Hemoglobin becomes oxyhemoglobin in the lungs, where it binds to oxygen molecules. When deoxygenated blood travels to the alveoli, oxygen diffuses across the alveolar membrane and into the blood, where it attaches to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This process allows for the transport of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
What color is carbon dioxide filled blood?
Carboxyhaemoglobin (carbon dioxide rich blood) is a red-purple colour.Oxyhaemoglobin (Oxygen rich blood ) is deep redCarbonmonoxyhaemoglobin (Blood containing carbon monoxide) is bright redAside: Some people think some blood is blue because veins (containing CO2 rich blood) appear blue. This is due to the colour of the veins and the colur absorption of the tissues. Octopi and horseshoe crabs do have blue blood because they use copper, not iron, to transport oxygen.
When there is less oxyhemoglobin in the blood red blood cells produce 23-DPG This metabolic product?
enhances oxygen unloading at the systemic capillaries
Which blood contains more oxygen?
The blood in arteries contains more oxygen because it is being pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the form of oxyhemoglobin.
What is a Sheep blood agar plate?
A petri dish filled with a nutrient gel containing red blood cells that is used to detect the presence of streptococcal bacteria in a throat culture
What is the color oxyhemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is red while oxyhemoglobin is redder. People think that blood in veins is blue but it has lost the oxygen it was carrying around to the cells so it is a red color but not as red as oxyhemoglobin.
